Perhaps I've misunderstood your suggestion, but to me it still looks like a class-based system - you've got fighters ("physically gifted") and spell-casters ("mentally gifted"), with the latter further broken down into mages ("a talent for magic"), psionicists ("a talent for psionics") and clerics ("beloved by the gods"). Mages are then broken down further still into Elementalist, Alchemist, Seer, Illusionist and Summoner.
But are you saying that:
1. Bubba is an Elementalist, therefore he has lots of elemental spells, or:
2. Bubba has lots of elemental spells, therefore he's an Elementalist?
